From Deseret News archives:
'Class Reunion' is reprehensible
And that line has been crossed in the second season of "High School Reunion," which premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. on the WB/Ch. 30.
Two of the participants are a divorced couple Gabe and Denise, the parents of two young children. And the fact that they arrive with different agendas quickly becomes obvious.
"I definitely didn't come here to try to make up with Denise or fix our relationship," Gabe says.
The producers obviously knew this, which is pretty cruel to Denise. But that there are two young children sitting at home who, one way or another, are going to hear about how their father arrived at the house and ignored their mother, who are going to hear that she wants to rebuild their family and he doesn't, is far worse.
But that's minor compared to what's next. The producers add three women who were sophomores when the others were seniors specifically to stir up trouble with Gabe and Denise.
It seems that Gabe was dating both Heather F. and Amanda at the same time he was dating Denise. And, according to Heather F., having sex with both her and Denise.
"Gabe and I were dating, supposedly exclusively, and I get a phone call from Denise letting me know that she's pregnant with Gabe's child," Heather F. says. "I knew it was a lie. They went ahead with the wedding and Denise did have a baby a year and a half later. Denise might be certifiably crazy."
"Denise fabricated a lie about being pregnant so that she could marry Gabe and she could win. It was a game to her," Amanda says.
The three "sophomores" go on at some length about how Denise faked the pregnancy with no evidence. They accuse her of threatening Heather's life with no evidence. (Denise denies that.)
"There was nothing I wanted more than to turn around and rip her head off," Heather F. says.
